Why Your Cubicle Was Designed to Control You (Not Help You Work)
Cubed: A Secret History of the Workplace
Think your open office or cubicle was built for collaboration? Think again. In this deep dive into Nikil Saval's book *Cubed: A Secret History of the Workplace*, we uncover the shocking truth: every design choice—from the first countinghouse to the modern glass tower—was a tool for control, not comfort. Discover how Taylor's stopwatch turned white-collar workers into cogs, why the 'Action Office' became a soul-crushing cube, and how Silicon Valley's perks are just a new cage. This is the secret history of where you spend 90,000 hours of your life. By the end, you'll never see your desk the same way.
